Faroe Rum
A great Shetland reel I first heard on Aly Bain / Tom Anderson's 'Silver Bow' CD.
The abc came from JC tunefinder and the following notes from Ibiblio Fiddler's Companion:
FAROE RUM. Shetlands, Shetland Reel. The tune was in the repertory of the locally infulential Shetland Fiddle Band, and therefore has a wide currancy in those Islands. Tom Anderson (1978) identifies it as a reel from the time when a thriving Cod fishing industry was extent on Faroe Island, and tobacco and rum were smuggled to the Island for "home consumption." Topic 12TS379, Aly Bain & Tom Anderson ‑ "Shetland Folk Fiddling, Vol. 2" (1978).
